The invention introduces a method for preparing artificial
rutile by using reduced
ilmenite, which comprises the following steps: S1, adding reduced
ilmenite into a
corrosion tank, introducing oxidizing gas to carry out
corrosion reaction, and washing and separating the
reaction product through a
cyclone and a high-frequency
sieve to obtain primary artificial
rutile and hydrated
iron oxide slurry; s2, carrying out filter pressing on the hydrated
iron oxide slurry obtained in the step S1 by using a
filter press, and preparing refined
iron oxide from the obtained iron
oxide slurry; s3, the primary artificial
rutile obtained in the step S1 is washed and then subjected to a
hydrochloric acid leaching reaction, a mixed material obtained after acid leaching enters a thickener, and supernatant returns to prepare an acid leaching solution; feeding lower-layer ore grains into a
belt filter for deacidification and washing; and S4,
drying the cleaned primary artificial rutile obtained in the step S3 through a
drying cylinder to obtain the finished artificial rutile. Industrial
hydrochloric acid is used as a rusting agent, and compared with
ammonium chloride, the product Fe (OH) 3 can be separated more easily. Oxidizing gas used for rusting is
mixed gas of air and
pure oxygen, and the mixing proportion of the air and the
pure oxygen can be dynamically adjusted according to different rusting raw materials, so that the reaction condition is in an optimal state. In the
corrosion and acid leaching processes, the recycling efficiency of the liquid
raw material is extremely high, and the prepared artificial rutile meets the requirements of a chlorination process
titanium dioxide
raw material. The whole process flow is reasonable in design, simple to operate, free of environmental
pollution and easy for industrial production.
